The good to be sold can not be out of the trade and must be lawful.

The sale of the property must have a price (in money sign that represents it) determined in the contract. If the price does not appear in the purchase contract sale is automatically canceled.

The property must be recorded by public deed.

When the sale of the property is finished, the purchaser must bring a copy of the public deed duly registered to the National Land Authority and the Public Registry for updating.
